How renting in Glade Spring has changed since 2015–2019

2015–2019 and 2020–2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates
	2015–2019	2020–2024	Amount of change	Verdict
Households that rent	20.2% (±7.5 points)	17.9% (±7.6 points)	−2.3 percentage points	Not a measurable change
Median gross rent	$746 (±$225)	$888 (±$345)	+19.0%	No measurable change after inflation
Median household income	$47,900 (±$7,436)	$81,298 (±$8,957)	+69.7%	Up after inflation

The Census Bureau publishes 2015–2019 dollars in 2019 dollars and 2020–2024 dollars in 2024 dollars.
